Looking for something to write, I decided to analyze 2018’s Hacker Noon posts.
Today I had something called a writer’s block. I couldn’t come up with a post about my kanji mnemonic tool which could be of interest to the Hacker Noon community. After a while, I wondered how many claps does the average post get on Hacker Noon. So I started to investigate.
Less than 1K claps [large]More than 1K claps [large]
Thus, I wrote a parser for the Hacker Noon sitemap. I downloaded each page and parsed the amount of claps in the footer of each post. Then I plotted the amount of posts per claps and to one’s surprise, the average amount of claps is 604 in 2018. Though, this number is misleading because if we look at 4 different percentiles, the story will look differently:
- 10%: 13Â claps
- 25%: 42Â claps
- 50%: 132Â claps
- 75%: 375Â claps
If you are publishing to Hacker Noon and want to know if you are better than the average post, try to get at least 132 claps. Now, may I ask for a clap? 😂
